Hey @sophabraham95 

Follow below steps to change icon of custom tool.

1. Go to Interface designer window. You can open it using Ctrl + Alt+ D
2. Click on properties button. (Last button)
3. Click on Custom Icon radio button.
4. Click on browse button to select image icon.

Hope it solves your concern.

Hi @sophabraham95 ,

The icon used by default is in the folder %workspacename%\configuration\%toolname%.

The file icon.png is the icon used and it is precised in the %toolname%Config.xml file that is in the same folder :

So you have to replace the icon.png file by another file with the same name to change the icon.

Using another image file with a different name and replacing icon.png in the xml file by the name of your new file won't work.

I hope this helps, tell me if you have any question !
